DCSTM WELCOMES COURT RULING ON NGAKA MODIRI MOLEMA COMMUTER TRANSPORT

MAHIKENG – The North West MEC for the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng hereby welcomes the Mahikeng High Court ruling on the Ngaka Modiri Molema commuter transport contract. The matter has been struck off the roll.

This follows a court challenge lodged by one of the companies that were bidding, indicating that the contract was not properly awarded.

The newly appointed company has since begun with operation in various areas of Ngaka Modiri Molema District this morning as had been announced in a media briefing by MEC Morweng on the 1st of October.

The Department also seeks to clarify the issue of the registration of the busses. Some of the busses had been registered and are operating with number plates whilst others which have not as yet been registered, are operating with a permit as per the regulations of any newly registered vehicle.
